CA BRN new changes affecting International Nurses with NO SSN

[Silverdragon102]

thank you to hushdawg for bringing this to attention.

the board of registered nursing (brn) will no longer accept applications that do not contain

a u.s. social security number. the nursing practice act provides for a unified examination

and licensing application. once an applicant passes the examination, a license is

automatically issued. under these circumstances the brn cannot accept applications for the

examination and licensure without a u.s. social security number.

Thank you Silverdragon for your reply! I've read similar posts, already I'm considering this option. This is my first week on Allnurses but already I'm getting a lot of helpful ideas. Thanks again!
